Remember, special characters are used in the experimental passwords.

I think it all comes down to human nature, Lazy Joe will write down his password, and we all know this. People, in many common cases (disgruntled employees) can and will give the PW away.

Aside from enforcing a regular change, it will not happen on it's own. As Sysadmin. could you just issue them (unique) to each user (no shiz), and monitor their use?

Apparently the best way to monitor spyware, is to spy on the very people who receive it.

How ironic. heh

Solving the "special character" puzzle is a major project for even the best cracker out there.

Just a thought.
